Guildford was established during the founding of the Swan River Colony in 1829 and today is one of only three towns in Perth on the National Trust register. Established on what is virtually an island encircled by the Swan and Helena Rivers, Guildford is ideally suited to explore on foot. Much of Guildford’s original town plan, including the central church square (now known as Stirling Square), remains largely intact allowing a rare glimpse into early colonial settlement.
